The elves of the Elsir Vale itself are reclusive 'wild elves'. Being a high-elf (known as eladrin) you would have travelled from far east off the map. In fact, eladrin are highly regarded in the Gyrian City-States (see the Region entry on separate page).

So, at some stage in your past you have made the journey, several hundred miles, across the Golden Plains and then across the Elsir Vale.

You will need to put some thought into how/why that occurred. Joining up with a caravan from the east is a popular way to come to the Vale.

Note also that Sal's PC is a high-elf/eladrin. So you may have journeyed west together.
